Zohran isn't a socialist lol. The only people who think he is also think Bernie Sanders and Kamala Harris are socialists.

There's a pretty big difference between a Social Democrat and a Democratic Socialist. Only learned that pretty recently myself

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 9 points 4 months ago

To be fair, "democratic socialism" doesn't really mean anything either. It's used interchangeably between a socialist economy with liberal forms of democracy and reformist approaches to establishing socialism, it isn't really a branch of thought with solid consistency. It's also a misnomer, in that socialism itself is democratic, it's like saying I like cold ice cream.

There isn't, democratic socialism is an oxymoron and exposes its inherent revisionist anti-socialist nature

social democrat / liberal

What is zorin OS and what does Zohran have to do with this lmao

[–] affenlehrer@feddit.org 2 points 4 months ago (2 children)

I believe it's a popular Chinese Linux distro that looks pretty modern.

[–] maniacalmanicmania@aussie.zone 20 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It's Irish. Ubuntu I think. It got a lot of downloads recently probably due to Windows 10 support ending.

[–] affenlehrer@feddit.org 10 points 4 months ago

It seems I confused it with the deepin distro from China. Thank you for the correction!

It's Irish actually

Does anyone here actually use Zorin? Always wondered what it's like.

[–] maniacalmanicmania@aussie.zone 8 points 4 months ago

I installed it on a surface a friend's kid gave me. Everything works I think. It's just a torrent server atm. Basically if you're happy with Ubuntu and Gnome with some tweaks you'll be happy with Zorin.

I use it on my laptop. I like it a lot so far, but a BUNCH more testing of gaming etc will be needed before I'll take the plunge and install it on my desktop.

I did. Didn’t function at all. Had a ton of issues with the sound card and the nvidia graphics driver also shit the bed multiple times and many games didn’t work. Same for mint though.
